Kyteler's Inn, Killkenny

For dinner we went to Kyteler's Inn (pronounced like kitler's).  Kyteler's dates back to 1263 in medieval Kilkenny, and was founded by Dame Alice (sometimes referred to as the notorious Dame Alice).  Alice de Kyteler was a charming lady who was married four times, and therefore was able to amass a large fortune.  Townsfolk became jealous of Dame Alice, and thus accused her of witchcraft, urging her to be whipped in the street and then burned at the stake.  Her "connections" to local gentry allowed her escape to London, but her poor maid fared less well, and was killed as a witch.  Women, amirite?  Always trying to be successful and have relationships and stuff.  I wish she had been a witch, Willow from Buffy style, because then she could have enacted some sweet, sweet revenge on her accusers.
